Actor Maxi Ghione Detained After Santa Fe Raid Finds Multiple Firearms

Forensic tests on seized weapons and a phone will determine evidence before formal charges are filed.

Overview

  • Police executed a court-ordered search of Ghione’s home in Lehmann on Tuesday and transferred him to Rafaela to remain at the disposal of the courts.
  • The Police of Investigations seized multiple firearms, ammunition and a cellphone that prosecutors have added to the case file for technical analysis.
  • The criminal probe was opened after a complaint by Emiliano Ezequiel Terragona, who says he was hired for an encounter on September 20, was held for hours and was intimidated with firearms.
  • Fiscal Juan Manuel Puig of the Ministerio Público de la Acusación is leading the inquiry and has not yet held the audiencia imputativa that would formalize charges.
  • Ghione’s lawyer says some weapons are registered and has requested alternatives such as house arrest for health reasons while prosecutors continue evidence collection and peritajes.
